  1. My ultimate take is that Walt couldn't have given two fucks about the drug trade in New Mexico or Lyda's and Todd's involvement in it.   He may even have not deduced the fact that the Aryans had taken it over. At his lowest moment, when his son had completely rejected him, the Charlie Rose bit, far from pissing him off, gave him a way to complete his ultimate goals. (1) Secure his family's future.  (2) Avenge Hank (Which, if I remember correctly, he had talked about hiring hitmen with Saul while they were in Max Cherry's protection.) and (3) get his final resolution with Jesse.

    Skyler told Walt that Lydia had sent the Nazis to their home and threatened their children. Plenty of reason.

    While that is true (though she never said that Lydia sent them) Walt had already retrieved the ricin and it was clearly meant for her. Still, Elsalvajeloco has persuaded me with sound reasoning that Walt was properly motivated.

    The one false note for me is why does Walt risk exposure twice to kill Lydia? He doesn't have anything to gain by doing so and they were never directly in conflict. The first time he was going to poison her , she was merely another loose end like Mike's men, and then they went into business. Fugitive Walt doesn't have any reason to kill her. Just feels like she deserves to die, so we'll have Walt do it.Still, Best Series Ever. Finale just a notch below The Shield.

    You can't really trust someone like Lydia. If Walt kills her cook Todd (and by proxy Jesse), then she probably would get mad enough to hire people to kill Walt's whole family if she found out. She had the Nazis get rid of Declan, and he didn't really need to be killed. He just had a shitty meth setup and refuse to let her barge in. She was pretty fucking ruthless.
    This is a little more reasonable though I doubt her dealings were much on his radar after he 'retired'.

    229) THE LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER (Jui kuen II/Drunken Master II)

    1994 - 166 Points - 2 Votes (Highest Vote: #9 Caley)

     

     

    Not looking to fuck anything up here, but this was my #50. So, either the points are wrong or you missed a vote.

     

     

    Oh God Dammit - I didn't miss a vote I just had the movie double listed . So the good news for fans of this movie... it's gonna reshow up a lot higher.

     

    And I motherfucking double checked for duplicates like 9 times. Stupid movies with multiple names.

     

    Grr... now I am pissed at myself

     

    I'll accept part of the blame because that is the way IMDB has it listed... but I refuse to acknowledge that stupid ass dubbed, altered version .

  6. It's not a cop show. It's a show about crime.

    It's a cop show. It begins and ends with the police. Everything else is background and sub-plot. Major parts of it aren't even about crime. They're about  decaying institutions that are too big to fail, but too ham-strung by their need to make the numbers work to be effective in their roles. But the motor of the show is the police investigation of a criminal enterprise and the parts of The Wire that stray furthest from that are generally the least appreciated of the series. It's a cop show. And there is nothing wrong with that.
